RGB level trouble

RGB level trouble

HI,

I did some batch process as TIFF, DPX, Open EXR and CINEON files, look at them in photoshop. The RGB level don't match perfectly.
I din't use OPLF filter and noise reduction, didn't chage scale, only export 4K files.
I Had also tried with OPLF and noise reduction, I had the same result.

When you look at each level very quick in photoshop at 100% (keyboard shortcut apple 1, 2, 3 ) you can see they don't match.


I know Red Cine is a betha version (082) but such a thing is a big trouble for sharpness and on such file you have to make the level match on post prod...
I will send a 300dpi jpegs file so you will have a look on it, but I have to wait until I got an answer from the people who gave me the R3D file.

Is any one got the same trouble or could have a look.
Thank
David

Testing a new PC build (see log for details)
Color: OLPF Comp: so far only NR seems to work, Sharpen & Detail give no visual change on screen (Fullres. High)
Snapshot fails (log reports ERROR: JPEG: 'Bogus input colorspace')

Q? How does one alter the environment variables for default location of files...

If I have more than a couple 4k files (say more than 3 min worth of footage) in the library the interface begins to have freezes ranging anywhere from a few seconds to 30 seconds or more in length. This is just moving thumbnails & moving between menu Items with no playback. If I have to playback, even in 1/4 res medium I get a blank (blue) image after a few seconds of playback. Removing files from the timeline and restarting redcine is the only way to get the image back.

If you change the snapshot output format to tif you can create a snapshot - but no go as jpeg
 
An issue that is repeated a lot.

Seems like when processing over 20 clips in Redcine, all at the same frame rate and resolution, Redcine will ouput them all into separate folders if you choose that, then each quicktime will either be a still image or a black screen. Redcine pref must be trashed at this point. I cut down the # of clips to 7 and was ok. I really can't wait for this program to be stable. It is such a great piece of software and that is its one weak point, but those are all things that will only improve with time
 
Same issue with sharpness. It doesn't work on any files format I have tried ; DPX, OPEN EXR, CINEON, TIFF, JPEGS

When I export files, many times the sofware freezes, preview is full of colors or simply outputs black frames. I tried many different Video cards and systems. (this is all on XP)
 
several codec options cant be selected.
avid dnaxhd is a good example.
 
Computer

MAC PRO 2.8 8Core new versions bought this past week.
FCP 6.0.2
OSX 10.5.1 scared to update into 10.5.2
QT 7.4
5GB ram
ATI Radeon HD 2600 graphics card
SATA internal drives
Things seemed pretty ok. I was able to export files as ProRes 422 and 422HQ I felt things are generally working as expected.

Yesterday was talked into switching back to QT 7.3
Followed a posting on how to do that and I did it.
Then when ever I exported a clip from REDCINE the video was frozen and just lines up and down the screen in QT view.
I tried it a few more times in different ways and same bad results.
I re-updated to QT 7.4 and things are working ok so it seems.

Id love to know what your thoughts are on this.
And I hope my post was of used to you guys.

Thanks
Luis

I have seen this, too on a MP, but funnily enough AFTER upgradig with RAM and RAID.

Re-installed RedCine, killed the library files. Works now... I think... :)

Hmn. Just reinstalled AND cleared library and still the same issue... gr. Interestingly I have no issues with Red Alert and it also renders far faster than RedCine.

Has anyone seen this problem. I think I have it confined to 2k from 4k. Its a triplicate of the original frame with purple instead of full color. I one case the problem was seen in all frames. The last render with another clip only demonstrated this issue in the last frame.

REDCine WinXP crashes when .r3d files that were in a project are moved between sessions.

1. I loaded .r3d samples from other shooters into REDCine and quit.
1. I moved .r3d files to another directory.
2. I started REDCine.
3. crash during or just after logo splash

Returning the files to their original location results in REDCine starting okay.

I remember a temporary fix on OSX involved deleting a default project file.

Mac Pro Quad 2.66, Mac OS X 10.5.1, RedCine 10.0.3.

When rendering 4k 16:9 files scaled to SD to DV QuickTime files, my whole batch of files takes 1.5 hours to render normally. But if I turn on burned-in timecode, rendering time goes to over 30 hours.
 
WinXP, 2GB RAM. Cannot export a 3K file as 2K. I can export a 4K file as 2K, I can export a 3K file as 1080P, but trying to export as 2K repeatedly crashes. Export format was Quicktime movie, using JPEG2000 or Sorensen. H.264 doesn't work at all.
 
I've experienced the same bug as Dave has above in post #35. Restarting the system corrected it.

I ams still having issues with REDCINE on any Mac if I have other software running. For best reliability and results, I have to make sure REDCINE is the only app running. This is a real PITA.
 
REDCINE performance with multiple displays?

REDCINE performance with multiple displays?

System:

Mac Pro Feb 2008
8 core 3.2GHz
16GB RAM
8800GT 512MB video - Driving dual 30" 2560x1600 displays
OSX 10.5.2, w/ Graphics Update 1.0
QT 7.4.1 (7.4 is junk, 7.3.x crashes constantly on this config)

REDCINE always launches to second display (can we change this?). Performance is 40% to 50% slower than if I run in single display (or mirrored) mode.

To clarify, if I run with a single display, a 550 frame encode of 4K 2:1 to H264 HQ @ 2048x1024 takes about 2:30. If I have both displays enabled, the same encode process takes almost 6 minutes.

EDIT> This issue seems tied to different codecs. I do not see a performance hit with multiple displays when encoding to ProRes or image sequences. But it happens with h.264 and DVCPROHD.
 
More Bugs discovered this weekend:

1) Having 4K frame framed in 720, Fit Height works fine: Shift X at all and now have black bar on Top. I believe (though haven't tested) shift X left and black bar on bottom (I experienced it but didn't try to repeat it.

2) Copy Paste on Color should not affect framing (IMO) I can see that as helpful in which case have it as another button or shift click.

3) I have 10 clips sized and framed. Now I import 10 more. I would like the option of having the all button maybe be a three way toggle between all and Forward to just affect the framing of clips to the right of it.

That's 2 23-inch Cinema Displays that I need to replace.

They're LCDs... The "burn-in" should fade in a few days, if not, it sounds like you may have more issues than just leaving a screen image on there.

You knew going into it that REDCINE overrides certain aspects of the OS... Why not just turn the monitor off when you leave?

REDCINE locks you out of using the screen it launches on, but it does not lock you out of using anything else on your computer. On systems with more than one display, I can have other things running besides REDCINE. Do it at your own peril, though... REDCINE doesn't play nice unless it has almost free reign over your system, it's so sensitive and buggy, it's just plain annoying. I've crashed my mac just by letting REDCINE run, even restricted to CPU cores 4 thru 7, and tried to type something in Word or surf REDUSER. REDCINE needs a serious stability overhaul.

i minimize with cmd+f11 and i surf through the web while rendering, no problem at all
(everybody seems to have slightly different bugs on similar machines)

but if i set the project to 2k, i have to manualy tipe in the pixels at the output tab.
